Integrated Pest Management Plant Science Day The Johnson Lecture • Short Talks • Demonstrations Field Experiments • Nurserymen’s Plant Discoveries Century Farm Award • Barn Exhibits Lockwood Farm, Hamden August 1, 2001 THE SAMUEL W. JOHNSON MEMORIAL LECTURE The Station Board of Control established the lectureship to further discussion of issues of concern to Connecticut residents and the Station. Professor Johnson was director of the Station from 1877 to 1900 and was a leader in the establishment of American agricultural experiment stations. ANSWERS TO YOUR QUESTIONS Staff in the question-and-answer tent are prepared to give information on identification of insects, plant disorders, soils and their management, and other problems of growers and gardeners. CENTURY FARM AWARD The Century Farm Award goes to a farm that has been in family operation for more than 100 years. The recipient is selected by the Connecticut Agriculture and Natural Resources Association. FRINK HIGHLAND FARM, STERLING In 1696, Sergeant John Frink was granted 200 acres of land in Voluntown for services rendered during King Phillip’s War. The land has remained in the Frink family since that time and is presently owned and operated by Albert Frink and his son Timothy, the fifth generation to have worked this land. John Frink’s grandson, Zachariah was probably the first to live on the land atop Ekonk Hill. Town records indicate that in 1788 Joshua Frink served as representative to the State Legislature. The original farmhouse built four generations back still looks out over the rolling countryside. In those days a pair of oxen pulled the plows. The next generation farmed with horses. In 1922 Herman Frink took over the farm and was the first generation to work with a tractor. By 1967, Frink’s Highland Farm sent two tons of milk in a tank truck to the Hood Plant each day. In addition to his dairy farming career, Herman was also a cattle dealer, auctioneer, businessman, state representative, judge, and justice of the peace. His son Albert was recognized as an Outstanding Young Farmer in 1968 as he farmed 400 acres in corn, hay and silage for the herd of 107 Holstein cows. Albert extended himself in the community through leadership in the Ekonk Grange, Farm Bureau, and Danielson Lodge of Elks. He has served as Justice of the Peace and a member of the Democratic Town Committee in Sterling. Today, Albert’s son Timothy Frink lives in his great-great-great grandfather’s farmhouse and continues to be sustained by the farmland that has withstood the challenges of time and nature and man. STATION WEB PAGE The Experiment Station has a world wide web page at: WWW.CAES.STATE.CT.US After the lecture, visitors may remain in the tent for lunch. Coffee and cold drinks are free.

JOHNSON MEMORIAL LECTURE Terry Jones Jones Family Farms, Shelton Blending Land Conservation with Economic Development: Compost for a Growing Community! REMARKS Edmund Tucker President, Experiment Station Associates SHORT TALKS 10:45 West Nile Virus: Where is it Going? Theodore G. Andreadis The impact and spread of West Nile virus in the United States since 1999 and research, surveillance, and an update on virus activity in the state will be discussed. 1:15 Plants that Attract Butterflies to Your Garden Carol R. Lemmon Plants that attract butterflies to a garden will be discussed. Some plants are important food sources and some flowering plants and shrubs provide nectar for adults. 1:45 Testing for E. coli O157:H7 in Deer Douglas W. Dingman A-two-year study shows that deer are an incidental host for the E. coli O157:H7 bacterium and not a long-term carrier. However, precautions on the preparation of deer meat are required to minimize the likelihood of infection. 2:15 Lyme Disease Prevention Programs Kirby C. Stafford III The emphasis for tick control methods in Connecticut has shifted to community-based programs, integrated tick management, and host-targeted methods. DEMONSTRATIONS 10:15 Starting Plants in Hydroponics Martin P.N. Gent The germination and growth of lettuce in water solution as well as the germination and growth of tomato in water solution and rock wool, an inert medium used in greenhouse tomato production, will be discussed. 2:45 Pruning of Ornamental Trees and Shrubs Sharon M. Douglas This demonstration will focus on why, how, and when to prune. Tree anatomy, tools, pruning cuts, and specialized techniques for woody shrubs and trees will be discussed. THE CONNECTICUT AGRICULTURAL EXPERIMENT STATION The experiments exhibited here depict only a portion of the work of Station Scientists. In addition to Lockwood Farm and Laboratories in New Haven and Windsor, Station Scientists use state forests, private orchards, and farms for their experiments. Experiments and surveys of problems are conducted in many towns of the state.

Assisted by Terri Arsenault Market-basket pesticide testing illustrates exposure to pesticides from dietary sources and a summary of non-dietary sources and research is presented. GENETIC ENGINEERING OF PHOTOSYNTHESIS Department: Biochemistry and Genetics Principal investigator: Richard B. Peterson About 100 genes make products that participate directly in the photosynthetic conversion of CO2 and water to carbohydrate in leaves. New strategies for improvement of photosynthetic efficiency implemented through genetic engineering could have enormous effects on crop productivity and global ecology. AERIAL DISPERSAL OF PLANT PATHOGENS Department: Plant Pathology and Ecology Principal investigator: Donald E. Aylor. Assisted by Peter Thiel and Steven M. Bernacki The Station is developing a mathematical model for the aerial transport of spores to estimate the relative danger of infections from spores both within and outside a cropped area. The aim is to predict the probability of disease spread between fields and to use this information to reduce pesticide use. EXOTIC WEEDS THREATEN OUR LAKES Department: Soil and Water Principal investigators: Gregory J. Bugbee and Jason C. White. Assisted by Jessica Dombrowski and Lydia Wagner Non-native aquatic plants spread rapidly because of few natural controls. These weeds can limit recreation, crowd out native vegetation, disrupt water supplies, and decrease property values. The Station is investigating spot applications of herbicides to control aquatic weeds. WHITE GRUBS IN TURF Department: Entomology Principal investigator: Richard S. Cowles White grubs, the larvae of scarab beetles, can cause serious injury to turf. The four species normally found in Connecticut vary in their susceptibility to available chemical insecticides and biological control materials.

  • Growing Herbs in Laramie County
    Catherine Wissner UW Extension Service Laramie County Cheyenne, Wyoming What they offer: planting information, ancient history and lore, poetry, musings, photography, illustrations, recipes, chemical constituents and medicinal virtues of herbs. From the botanical viewpoint, an herb is a seed plant that does not produce a woody stem like a tree. But an herb will live long enough to develop flowers and seeds. Richters catalog out of Canada, list over 200 herbs, 43 different types of Basil, 40 mints, 15 Rosemary’s, 35 Sages, and 10 Beebalms. Seed Savers Exchange lists over 350 herbs. So many choices so little time….. Known as the mint family. Comprising about 210 genera and some 3,500 species. The plants are frequently aromatic in all parts include many widely used culinary, such as: Basil, Mint, Rosemary, Sage, Savory, Marjoram, Oregano, Thyme, Lavender. Mostly with opposite leaves, when crushed the foliage usually emitting various, mostly pleasant odors. Stems usually square. Flowers usually abundant and quite attractive, the sepals and corollas variously united. Calyx 2-lipped or not. Corollas strongly 2-lipped (labiate, hence the family name). Herbs fit into one or more classifications according to use - - culinary, aromatic, ornamental, and medicinal. Culinary herbs are probably the most useful to herb gardeners, having a wide range of uses in cooking. Strong herbs -- winter savory, rosemary, sage. Herbs for accent -- sweet basil, dill, mint, sweet marjoram, tarragon, thyme. Herbs for blending -- chives, parsley, summer savory.. Aromatic herbs Most have pleasant smelling flowers or foliage. Oils from aromatic herbs can also be used to produce perfumes and various scents.

  • Plant Damage from Air Pollution
    report on RPD No. 1005 PLANT July 2002 DEPARTMENT OF CROP SCIENCES DISEASE UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS AT URBANA-CHAMPAIGN PLANT DAMAGE FROM AIR POLLUTION Air pollution damage to vegetation has been recognized for more than 125 years. Air pollutants are a fact of modern life. The best guess is that between 100 and 200 million tons of man-made air pollutants are released each year into the atmosphere in the United States. According to U.S. EPA’s “Latest Findings on National Air Quality: 2000 Status and Trends”, over 160 million tons of pollution are emitted into the air each year in the United States. As society has become more industrialized, laws regulating air pollution have become more intense. Before 1955 only smoke laws existed. The U.S. Figure 1. Ozone injury to petunia plants. Clean Air Amendments of 1967 and 1970 established maximum limits, or standards, for several major air pollutants. Two standards are applied to each pollutant: The primary standard, which protects human health, and the secondary standard, which protects human welfare–principally plants and human structures. The clean air legislation also established federal and state environmental protection agencies (EPAs) and pollution control boards to monitor pollutant concentrations and enforce the air quality standards. For example, the Illinois EPA operates monitors for ozone (Figure 1) and sulfur dioxide, the two most common plant-damaging pollutants, in 23 of the state’s 102 counties. As a result, aggregate emissions of six principal pollutants tracked nationally have been cut 29 percent since 1970. Despite this progress, ground-level ozone levels in the southern and north central states have actually worsened in the past 10 years.

  • Population Structure, Genetic Diversity and Downy Mildew Resistance Among Ocimum Species Germplasm Robert M
    Pyne et al. BMC Plant Biology (2018) 18:69 https://doi.org/10.1186/s12870-018-1284-7 RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access Population structure, genetic diversity and downy mildew resistance among Ocimum species germplasm Robert M. Pyne* , Josh A. Honig, Jennifer Vaiciunas, Christian A. Wyenandt and James E. Simon* Abstract Background: The basil (Ocimum spp.) genus maintains a rich diversity of phenotypes and aromatic volatiles through natural and artificial outcrossing. Characterization of population structure and genetic diversity among a representative sample of this genus is severely lacking. Absence of such information has slowed breeding efforts and the development of sweet basil (Ocimum basilicum L.) with resistance to the worldwide downy mildew epidemic, caused by the obligate oomycete Peronospora belbahrii. In an effort to improve classification of relationships 20 EST-SSR markers with species- level transferability were developed and used to resolve relationships among a diverse panel of 180 Ocimum spp. accessions with varying response to downy mildew. Results: ResultsobtainedfromnestedBayesianmodel-basedclustering, analysis of molecular variance and unweighted pair group method using arithmetic average (UPGMA) analyses were synergized to provide an updated phylogeny of the Ocimum genus. Three (major) and seven (sub) population (cluster) models were identified and well-supported (P < 0.001) by PhiPT (ΦPT) values of 0.433 and 0.344, respectively. Allelic frequency among clusters supported previously developed hypotheses of allopolyploid genome structure. Evidence of cryptic population structure was demonstrated for the k1 O. basilicum cluster suggesting prevalence of gene flow. UPGMA analysis provided best resolution for the 36-accession, DM resistant k3 cluster with consistently strong bootstrap support.
